Working on Wings for Zenith aircraft is therapeutic. I am not kidding. There is something magical and happy about cleaning all the parts, assembling them together, opening up the holes to final sizes and finally get to rivet them. The right wing of my Cruzer is almost at a point […]

Wings are integral part of a plane that actually define it. We heard in the past that Wings can fly and in fact I actually have flying wings albeit RC models. This phase is quite exciting to actually see the shape of the wing being formed from smaller metal pieces […]

After almost 2 months of waiting time, Zenith team delivered the BIG BOX with wings kit and the finishing kit. This include – Wings, Landing gear, Fuel tanks, Fuel systems, Controls kit, Doors, Windows and Front Visor. Feels great when your little ones are more excited than you to open […]

With the extensive support and documentation from Zenith team, the fuselage build is almost at a point that it can be placed to the side of the work space. Next thing to set is the pedals with mounts and paddles and I will come back to setting up the controls […]

As a wise man advised me earlier, start with the difficult built first so you have time on your hand and there it goes. It’s been almost 40 plus hours and I am still tinkering with Fuselage build. Most of the time was myself stuck with mixer control unit beneath […]

With the advent of Hurricane IRMA and it’s passing through South Florida – It’s time to start focusing on the Cruzer Build. Thanks to Zenith team for delivering the Fuselage kit in a finely packed crate – and there starts the build process. It started with reviewing and tallying all […]

Supported by some luck, I was able to acquire a Corvair 2850 CC / 110 HP engine that has 14 hrs on it. Its time to learn more about this engine by attending the upcoming Corvair College # 41 @ Barnwell, SC and have it run on test bed if possible.

Teamed up with Mr Greg Stoner, onwards to go to Barnwell. Amazing trip, great company and some fantastic learnings at this college.

Gained much needed understanding and confidence on how to setup the timing for the engine and arrange the distributor settings. Thanks to all the SME’s (Subject Matter Experts) @ Corvair movement that helped me in this endeavor.

Looking forward for next college @ Barnwell to continue with my student journey in the field of Corvair’s.

See below a quick Video of the Engine Run on Test stand… Sounds great.

Got to meet lot of champions when it comes to Corvair engines. Every one is passionate and knowledgable about their engines and the appreciative thing is the camaraderie they show to help each other out. KUDOS to the organizer of this events. Hand down this is awesome … Just to […]

It’s surreal to see that plane is progressing from ideation to execution – slow but definitely moving ahead. One important component for an experimental LSA is for Builder to be aware of his engine and it’s inner workings and the best part of it is if that engine is an […]

As part of continuing education towards HomeBuilt Aircraft, the trip is planned and confirmed to visit Sport Aviation Expo held at Sebring Florida – on Jan 26-28 2017 Can’t wait to check the planes out 🙂 Website details can be found at SEBRING AVIATION SHOWCASE
